Preparations for expressway construction reviewed

The Steering Committee for the construction of the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau Expressway’s section in Son La province convened a meeting on April 10 to assess preparations for investment and the groundbreaking ceremony for the project.

The event was chaired by Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, head of the provincial Delegation to the National Assembly, and head of the Steering Committee.

At the meeting.

In preparation for the project implementation and the groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for May 19, the committee urged the Van Ho district People’s Committee to continue coordinating efforts and accelerating the appraisal and approval of construction design drawings for four resettlement sites, the relocation of power lines, and procedures related to site clearance. The Moc Chau township People’s Committee was requested to expedite site clearance for the section under its jurisdiction and coordinate with relevant agencies in organising the ceremony.

The provincial Management Board for Transport Projects was directed to accelerate the selection of contractors for design, construction, and consultancy and supervision packages. Additionally, the clearance of unexploded ordnance must be sped up, especially in the area designated for the groundbreaking. The board was also instructed to review the demand for construction materials to prevent potential shortages during implementation.

To date, the provincial People’s Committee has approved feasibility study reports for all three sub-projects. The respective investors are urgently advancing subsequent steps to ensure timelines.

Chairman of the provincial People’s Council Nguyen Dinh Viet speaks at the meeting.

Speaking at the meeting, Viet requested the People’s Committees of Van Ho district and Moc Chau township to continue working with relevant departments to promptly complete the appraisal of cost estimates and approve plans and cadastral mapping for site clearance, as well as conduct surveys and prepare basic designs for the resettlement areas.

The provincial Management Board for Transport Projects was tasked with urging consulting units to finalise technical design documents for submission and appraisal. Furthermore, it was asked to collaborate with the Van Ho and Moc Chau People’s Committees to review and submit adjusted total investments for the sub-projects for approval.
